Lovely Lily Pad

 Hope everyone is staying safe in this mad world right now.  My boys and DH are studying or working from home but the medical world marches on.  Although I am still leaving home to work, my heart really goes out to the people out there in the ER or in the ICU on the front lines putting their lives at risk to help the patients infected with the coronavirus with the limited resources that is causing challenges to all of us.

Being able to do something else to take your mind off the 24 hours of news and trying to mitigate some anxiety, stamping has been a Godsend.  We all know we all have enough supplies to last us two lifetimes of crafting (you

know who you are!).  I am trying to take a couple of minutes every day to make a card and send it to some (take a picture and text it to someone or mail it but if you go to the mailbox, wipe the handle down or use something else to not touch it) to brighten someone's day.

My parties are on indefinite hold as we are all sheltering at home so if you need anything, order on line (be patient as many companies are working with skeleton crew so orders maybe a little slow in filling)  to keep the businesses going. 

Base card is whisper white with a piece of melon mambo embossed with Coastal Weave 3D embossing folder , then layer of Old Olive then the whisper white.  Stamp the leaf in Memento black and color in with olive blends.  stamp the lily twice on a scrap piece of whisper white and die cut or cut out.  I fussy cut the bottom so I would not have a border of white.  Mount with dimensionals.  cut the second lily but the center leaves only. I put green glue on the bottom part of the leaves so it would meet but used dimensionals to separate the leaves on top.

Take a piece of Daffodil Delight scrap and die cut using the die from Sending Flowers Dies and mount it using dimensionals.  Add the sentiment stamped with part of the Peaceful Moments stampset on a 1/2 inch strip of whisper white.    I cut the stamp to just use the Thinking of you part.   Add a piece of From My Heart faceted gem for a little bling and a simple card you can make in minutes. 

Let someone know you are thinking about them.

Stay safe my friends!
